Galaxy formation with BECDM – I. Turbulence and relaxation of idealized haloes

© 2018 The Author(s). We present a theoretical analysis of some unexplored aspects of relaxed Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter (BECDM) haloes. This type of ultralight bosonic scalar field dark matter is a viable alternative to the standard cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm, as it makes the same la...
